Who is the Sunset Hotel’s owner?
Antonio Gonzalez, who co-founded Sunset Hospitality and serves as its CEO, has a long history in the hospitality business. Since its founding ten years ago, Sunset Hospitality has expanded from its modest beginnings in Dubai to an international footprint that now spans 11 countries and 30 stores worldwide.
Restaurant & Hotel News ME got up with Antonio to talk about a range of issues. View the complete interview below:
What distinguishes Sunset Hospitality from other businesses in the industry?
I believe that what distinguishes us from other companies is the way we go about our business. We are very focused on doing and creating an experience that means we return to the true essence of hospitality, which for us is the social element, bringing people together to socialize and spend time with family and friends. Because of this insight, every aspect of our business—from the more laid-back eateries to the beach club to the hotels’ evening hours—grows and evolves around it.
2. What do you anticipate for Sunset Hospitality in the upcoming months?
There are going to be a lot of opportunities both here in Dubai and globally during the next few busy months. The inauguration of Sushi Samba in October on the palm on the 51st floor of the St. Regis Hotel, which will be a remarkable location, will be one of the highlights of the upcoming six months. Also launching on the floor below will be AURA, which will be the highest 360-degree pool in the world. L’AMO Bistro Del Mare, a fine dining Italian seafood restaurant, will open in Dubai Harbor. We also have MOTT 32 and Around the Wall. Dream, one of our newest concepts that is a show dinner concept, will be coming to the address JBR in December and will only be available in Dubai. Internationally, we have a sizable pipeline in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and looking ahead to the following year, we plan to keep expanding our F&B operations while also making significant efforts to expand our hotel business.
3. What will your industry face as its largest issue in the next months?
This business is made up of a variety of components, such as your offering, your location, and your pricing, but your staff is by far the most crucial element. To be able to continue finding the right talent to bring into the culture of the kind of hospitality that we want to do is always a challenge, and I think it’s one of the toughest ones especially as we grow exponentially. The talent that works in our business is the key pillar of everything that we do.
4. In your opinion, how will the hotel sector look in five years?
I believe the hospitality industry is already rebounding significantly and will continue to do so. You’ll notice a sudden urge to travel, gather, and rejoice as soon as we permit customers to mingle. Therefore, I believe that the economy will recover as soon as we are free of the pandemic. Whether it takes a month or a year, I’m not sure, but it will happen. This is a given, and we have repeatedly observed that as soon as the regulations are relaxed, business will pick up.
